Question

After parsering a text file into an array, I cannot typecast a value within from a string to an int. This usually works for me so I am clueless as to why this is breaking :

//textureInfo.x = parseInt( _words[i + 3 + 2] );
var valueX = ( _words[i + 3 + 2] ).ToString();
textureInfo.x = parseInt( valueX );

Error :

FormatException: Input string was not in the correct format

System.Int32.Parse (System.String s)

UnityScript.Lang.UnityBuiltins.parseInt (System.String value)

The error clearly says that the string you pass in is malformed / doesn't contain a number that can be converted. The first thing you should check is: What is in this string! Debug.Log might help.

That is the answer to my question I think. When you posted this I was running a debug as it was the same thing in my other question. It's all stemming from the way the .json file is formatted (I'm fairly sure it's tabs that is throwing me off)

Well I goofed up on this one. I hadn't removed the commas on this script. So thanks. Although my problem with tabs is still definitely valid : http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/291545/remove-tab-from-parsed-string.html

parseInt maps to System.Int32.Parse as you can see in the exception above ;)

System.Int32 == int

sorry I meant int.TryParse maybe still not so useful tho..
